Sport Clube União Torreense is a Portuguese sports club, best known for its association football section, founded in Torres Vedras in 1917, as Sport União Torreense. The club currently plays in Liga Portugal 2, the second tier of Portuguese football.
History
[edit]It participated six times in the Portuguese Liga (last in 1991–92 season) and its best result was two seventh final places (1955–56 and 1956–57), coincidentally the team's first two years in the top flight. Torreense participated twice in the final of the Cup of Portugal: in 1956, where they lost 2–0 to FC Porto, and in 2026, which they won 2-1 against Sporting CP[1], this victory was the first time in Portuguese football that a club playing in the Portuguese Second Division won the Cup of Portugal[2]
They also played in Portuguese Second Division (second level) between 1952 and 1955,[3] 1959 to 1964, 1965 to 1972, 1973 to 1977, 1978 to 1981, 1982 to 1991, 1992 to 1995, 1997 to 1998 and 2022 to present.
In the 2008–09 season, they were relegated from Group D of Portuguese Second Division. In the 2009–10 season, they finished Promotion Group E of Terceira Divisão on second place and in 2010–11 they returned to the Portuguese Second Division, finishing it in third place and as in 2021–22 they got promotion to Liga Portugal 2 after winning the new league called 2021–22 Liga 3.[4]
On 24 May 2026, Torreense defeated Sporting CP 2–1 in the Taça de Portugal final, winning the competition for the first time in the club's history and securing qualification for the UEFA Europa League as the first non-top flight club to qualify for the revised league phase and the third non-top flight Portuguese club to qualify for the UEFA Europa League after Beira-Mar and Leixões.[5] In the meantime, Torreense lost 2–0 on aggregate to Casa Pia in the promotion play-offs, remaining in Liga Portugal 2.[6]
